- Ford Focus Electric’s fewer moving mechanical parts nearly eliminates scheduled maintenance, saving drivers time and money
- No oil changes means Focus Electric drivers will save at least $450 and 7.5 hours over the life of the car
- Checking the tire pressure and filling the windshield washer fluid is about all most Focus Electric drivers will need to do
CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2011 – When it comes to regularly scheduled maintenance, the Ford Focus Electric will be the easiest car to own that Ford Motor Company has ever built.
Because the Focus Electric does not have a conventional piston engine or an automatic or manual transmission, its drivers will wave goodbye to such things as oil changes and tuneups – a scenario most other motorists can only dream of.
